Software Engineering Placement (12 months)

Our main product is a payroll and timekeeping app for hourly workforces, sold by subscription and supported from New York City. Customers use our platform to manage equipment rentals: reservations, check-out, damage photos, invoicing and QuickBooks sync. Laptops are MacBook Pros, and you pick your own editor.

Overview:

This is a hands-on coding internship. Most of the work is in Python and Node.js, with some SQL and a bit of shell scripting. The internship is fully remote. Interns join our New York City team on daily calls and get a named mentor. Core hours are 9:00 AM to 1:00 PM US Eastern. Day-to-day communication is in Slack and Google Meet.

Responsibilities:

• Fix bugs from the Jira backlog, starting with small, well-defined tickets.
• Present a short demo of your work to the team every two weeks.
• Raise pull requests on GitHub and respond to code review comments within a day.
• Refactor old modules when asked, keeping behaviour the same.
• Debug failing builds in the GitHub Actions pipeline and note what caused them.
• Pair with other engineers over screen share to work through tricky problems.

What we're looking for:

• Currently enrolled in a bachelor's or master's degree, graduating between December 2027 and June 2028.
• Available for the full internship period.
• Based in Germany for the duration of the internship.
• Basic understanding of data structures, OOP and how HTTP requests work.
• A GitHub profile with at least two projects you wrote yourself.
• Able to communicate clearly in written English on Slack and in pull requests.

Nice to have:

• Any previous internship, hackathon or freelance coding work.
• Knowledge of Linux command line basics.
• Competitive programming practice on LeetCode, Codeforces or CodeChef.

What you'll learn:

• Weekly 1:1 with your mentor to go over what went well and what to work on next.
• You will ship at least one feature that real users touch before the internship ends.
